A school district in Cranston, Rhode Island decided to pull the plug on all father-daughter and mother-son activities after a complaint from one student’s mother.

The “Providence Journal” is reporting the Cranston school superintendent says the ban was prompted by a single mom complaining her daughter couldn’t attend a father-daughter dance.
